Role

We’re looking for a Staff Software Engineer, Developer Experience (DevEx) to join our Core Engineering team. In this role, your primary customers are other engineers. You’ll design and build the tools, workflows, and platform capabilities that enable our teams to ship quickly and confidently. This role blends software engineering, platform engineering, and developer advocacy.

You’ll help shape how engineers work inside our monorepo, improve build and CI/CD systems, and define best practices for both humans and AI-assisted development. You’ll join a highly collaborative team of senior and staff engineers working on a modern platform designed for humans and AI agents to collaborate.

What You’ll Do

Build the Developer Platform

Design and implement internal tools, workflows, and infrastructure that improve the developer experience across the company. Your work will shape how engineers build, test, deploy, and operate software.

Own the DevEx Ecosystem

Improve our monorepo tooling, CI/CD pipelines, build systems, and documentation. Help engineers navigate and extend the codebase effectively.

Design for Humans and AI

Help evolve our development environment for AI-assisted coding and agentic workflows. This includes structuring documentation and code patterns so both humans and LLMs can work effectively within the repository.

Enable and Educate Engineers

Act as a developer advocate within the engineering organization. Run internal training, write documentation, and help teams adopt new tools and workflows.

Drive Platform Improvements

Work across infrastructure and platform layers, including CI/CD pipelines, build tooling, Kubernetes environments, and infrastructure automation.
